Membrane properties revealed by spatiotemporal response to a local inhomogeneity
Anne-Florence Bitbol, Jean-Baptiste Fournier
We study theoretically the spatiotemporal response of a lipid membrane submitted to a local chemical change of its environment, taking into account the time-dependent profile of th…
Bilayer elasticity at the nanoscale: the need for new terms
Anne-Florence Bitbol, Doru Constantin, Jean-Baptiste Fournier
Continuum elastic models that account for membrane thickness variations are especially useful in the description of nanoscale deformations due to the presence of membrane proteins…
Pairwise summation approximation for Casimir potentials and its limitations
Anne-Florence Bitbol, Antoine Canaguier-Durand, Astrid Lambrecht +1
We investigate the error made by the pairwise summation (PWS) approximation in three geometries where the exact formula for the Casimir interaction is known: atom-slab, slab-slab a…
Lipid membrane deformation in response to a local pH modification: theory and experiments
Anne-Florence Bitbol, Nicolas Puff, Yuka Sakuma +3
We study the deformation of a lipid membrane in response to a local pH modification. Experimentally, a basic solution is microinjected close to a giant unilamellar vesicle. A local…
